I'll tell you how the work went - speedup, speedup, speedup [refrain]
Not one second was misspent - speedup, speedup, speedup
My fingers nimble, face intent - speedup, speedup, speedup
I'd like to see you try it friend - speedup, speedup, speedup
Now that I've gotten good and fast - speedup, speedup, speedup [refrain]
They've upped the ante for my task - speedup, speedup, speedup
Each time I get ahead, they're back - speedup, speedup, speedup
To raise the bar and stretch the slack - speedup, speedup, speedup

You have to work hard, you have to work fast.
Each extra inch seems like a mile - speedup, speedup, speedup [refrain]
So bundles take a bit of guile - speedup, speedup, speedup
You snatch the small size with a smile - speedup, speedup, speedup
It's "head down" for another while - speedup, speedup, speedup
